[ALSA] snd-powermac: handle dead DMA transfers

This patch provides the snd-powermac sound driver with the ability to handle
dead DMA transfers. If a dead DMA transfer is detected, the driver now sets
up a new DMA transfer to continue with the sound output at the point where the
old transfer died.
This dead DMA transfer handling has become necessary with recent kernels on
certain G4 PowerMacs. Please refer to the following URLs for more information:
 https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3126
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/87652
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=436723
The patch is based on the dead DMA transfer handling code from the old dmasound
driver which can be found in the file sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_awacs.c in
the Linux source code.

+ * Handle DEAD DMA transfers:
+ * if the TX status comes up "DEAD" - reported on some Power Computing machines
+ * we need to re-start the dbdma - but from a different physical start address
+ * and with a different transfer length.  It would get very messy to do this
+ * with the normal dbdma_cmd blocks - we would have to re-write the buffer start
+ * addresses each time.  So, we will keep a single dbdma_cmd block which can be
+ * fiddled with.
+ * When DEAD status is first reported the content of the faulted dbdma block is
+ * copied into the emergency buffer and we note that the buffer is in use.
+ * we then bump the start physical address by the amount that was successfully
+ * output before it died.
+ * On any subsequent DEAD result we just do the bump-ups (we know that we are
+ * already using the emergency dbdma_cmd).
+ * CHECK: this just tries to "do it".  It is possible that we should abandon
+ * xfers when the number of residual bytes gets below a certain value - I can
+ * see that this might cause a loop-forever if a too small transfer causes
+ * DEAD status.  However this is a TODO for now - we'll see what gets reported.
+ * When we get a successful transfer result with the emergency buffer we just
+ * pretend that it completed using the original dmdma_cmd and carry on.  The
+ * 'next_cmd' field will already point back to the original loop of blocks.
